Finding CUSTOM_ID of a brain (sub+)section node for HTML exports.

[Kungsgeten]

So you want the custom ID of a headline entry? How do you want to get it, like choosing from a list and pasting/yanking it into the buffer? If so maybe something like this:

(defun org-brain-yank-id ()
  (interactive)
  (insert (car (last (org-brain-choose-entry "Get ID of entry: "
                                             (org-brain-headline-entries) nil t)))))

For being able to generate ™human friendly™ references in HTML exports, I need to find the CUSTOM_ID for a known ID. If all else fails, I can scan for it via AWK, but there probably is a better way.

If you know the ID you could use something like this (not related to org-brain, only using the builtin org functions):

(org-entry-properties (org-find-id "the ID of the entry") "CUSTOM_ID")
